Kindergarten: "Are you telling me that they did not provide evidence that Tyson was paying less for cattle in the cash market, quality considerations accounted for, than they were in the captive supply markets?"
Where did that come from? Creating an illusion again huh?
Are you telling me that dropping your price in the cash market as your needs are met in the futures market is market manipulation?
Are you telling me that this week's cash price, based on this weeks supply and demand factors, is going to be the same as last week's cash price which is based on last week's supply and demand factors and establishes the basis for this week's non negotiated formula and grid price?
Using your stupid logic, if there is a difference between this week's price and last week's price there is market manipulation.
Why don't you stick to topics you are not quite as ignorant on?
